Numbers n with the property that it is possible to write the base 2 expansion of n as concat(a_2,b_2), with a_2>0 and b_2>0 such that, converting a_2 and b_2 to base 10 as a and b, we have (a+b)^2 = n.

Obviously all terms are squares.
The terms that have b=1 are: 9, 49, 225, 961, 3969, 16129, 65025, ...; see A060867 ((2^n-1)^2). - Michel Marcus, Jun 13 2015
EXAMPLE
9 in base 2 is 1001. If we take 1001 = concat(10,01) then 10 and 01 converted to base 10 are 2 and 1. Finally (2 + 1)^2 = 3^2 = 9;
36 in base 2 is 100100. If we take 100100 = concat(10,0100) then 10 and 0100 converted to base 10 are 2 and 4. Finally (2 + 4)^2 = 6^2 = 36.
